this is a good talk (in a good series of talks, especially Claire Colebrook and John Lysaker) and while my own interests obviously parallel these lines of inquiry I think that these fine profs overestimate both the level/degree of organization/communion in human affairs and our powers related powers to know/systematize.
That said their taking note of the unlikelihood that we are in vast relations of commands/programs seems vital to me and raises serious questions about so called ideologies which function like theo-logoi, for me terms of collective/mass minds/mind-sets like "ideology" or zeitgeist/epochs are better left behind along with Nature and Ideas.
